was the father of forty one children. and STEP
child also called him father Heffner
was one of Readings characters. and
was in the full vigor OF health when he was
killed. 1t is doubtful. if his record in the pater

dwarfed hunchbark. He was born in Berlin. in
1916, and came to ibis country in 1S43, settling
in Reading. Until his death he made aliving by

He was married first in 1910. In eight years

and second years of their marriage she gave birth
to twins. For four successive years afterward
she bore triplets. In the seventh year she gave
birth to one child. and died soon after
left, consequently, the oldest only
seven years of age. Heffner engaged a
young woman to look after his large brood of
babies, and three months later she became the
second Mrs. Heffner. She presented her hus-
band with two children the first two years Five
years later she had added ten more TO the family,
two at every birth Then for three years she
added but year. She died before another

District Attorney Sellers deserves and should
receive credit for keeping at least one promise TO
the people, whatever may have been his failures
in the conduct of the case before the Jury. He
pledged himself that his assistant. Leon Bailey
should not participate in the trial of the case
and SO far this promise has been kept During
the entire trial Bailey has sat at the government
counseFs table, but ne has not been permitted
to take any part in the case. Except for the
fact that the district attorney has received no

mistaken for an animated bouquet-holder, but as
it is he aprssars to have had no higher mission in

A little incident happened yesterday which
aptly illustrates the estimation in which he is

the order of argument and the number of
speeches on each side With a significant look
at Bailey the district attorney said: eff have
